Emotional Health Improvement|Let Go of the Past

Are you carrying old emotions with you that affect your emotional health?  Read and listen below to Eckhart Tolle explains how your past emotions are affecting your emotional wellbeing.

"It is only when memories, that is to say, thoughts about the past, take you over completely that they turn in to a burden, turn problematic and become part of a sense of yourself. Your personality, which is conditioned by the past, then becomes your prison. Your memories are invested with a sense of self and your story becomes who you perceive yourself to be.  This little me is an illusion......

Most people carry a large amount of unnecessary baggage, both mental and emotional throughout their lives. They limit themselves through grievances, regret, hostility, guilt.  The emotional thinking has become their self so they hold onto the old emotions because it strengthens their identity.  Because of the human tendency to perpetuate old emotions, almost everyone carries in his or her energy field an accumulation of old emotional pain, which I call the Pain Body......we can learn to break the habit of accumulating and perpetuating old emotions.......and refrain from mentally dwelling on the past...."
